7th Green Valentine set for Saturday

One of my favorite events of the year, the 7th annual Green Valentine Tree Planting at the Stude Park Community Center will be be held Saturday at 1 p.m. Local resident Jeff Shell initiated the Green Valentine, a way for local residents to show their love for the beautiful expanse that is Stude Park.

Local residents and students from Hogg Middle School will be planting native trees along White Oak Bayou, distributing mulch, pruning and cleaning up reforested areas.

To help with the effort, volunteers are needed to bring different types of shovels, wheelbarrows, gloves etc. to provide the students with the tools they need to help. Coffee and tea will be provided by Antidote Coffee, with breakfast pastries by Dacapo’s Pastry Cafe.
